ITALIAN PREMIERE

T.I.N. Teatro Instabile Napoli (Naples, IT)
(The piece will be in Berlin from July 30 to August 2 at Dock 11
Theatrewww.dock11-berlin.de)
The full version piece by Gabriella Riccio and Paolo Rudelli is on stage, after the
discovery and revelation of the homonymous short version and work in progress
presented at Festival Transitidanza 2008 (Naples).
Noli Me Tangere is art of these days, reading and, above all, dance.
A new, extremely rigorous performance writing taste, involving, equally and in a
theatre, live contemporary music, dance and thought.
Two ambient, one musical and one literary, are the active backstage for a solo of
two monads transforming into a duo step that speaks of body, divine and intimacy.
An alive sonic box that alternates Nancy, to Baudelaire, Dante, Nin, Goethe, Jung,
Giddens, Murakami and other masterpieces
Naples, March 2009 - 25 minutes made of stunning evocative power, then the two leading bodies finally skim and
then touch each other in a climax of extraordinary narrative tension. It is a performance of art and theatre, put into a
very powerful sonic box, designed and sew, as a dress, on a set of reading mixing various knowledge and messages
(philosophy, poetry, literature).
Readings sew themselves perfectly to dance choreography, which subjects are bodies, intimacy, relation and divinity.
All this is Noli Me Tangere an intriguing performance – very new for its language, a new piece signed by the
choreography and direction of ms. Gabriella Riccio who put this Italian premiere on stage together with Paolo
Rudelli, who is also the author of the electronic sonic ambient. This premiere has been represented as shorter work in
progress during Italian festival TRANSITIDANZA 2008 - spazi per la danza contemporanea, National Project of
Italian regions Piemonte-Lazio-Campania promoted by Culture Ministry (Ministero per i Beni e le Attività
Culturali) and by Italian National Theatre Agency (ETI Ente Teatrale Italiano), at Nuovo Teatro Nuovo (Naples).
Noli Me Tangere is art, theatre, live music, reading and, over all, an hazard: to present in Italy, Naples, a new world
of performance centred on dance but involving, equally and in a theatre, live music, thoughts with the use of new
electronic technologies, through the design of a sensitive ambient applied to the performance itself.
Noli Me Tangere can be also depicted as a sophisticated and minimal moving installation for an embodied sound and
for a sonic body: a nude stage presents a series of microphones put in a circle on various books. Resonance, listening
and memory are the aesthetical traces of the piece - made evident thanks to the complex mechanism of sound
production that exploits all the movements on the scene to produce action with live capture and mixing.
Gabriella Riccio says: “During Noli Me Tangere I choose to read fragments of some of my library books:

+39 349 5517623these texts are so strong, but in an inner sense I hold them as I would be a well. I offer these fragments in a random and
not prior definite sequence, by leaving to the performance what will happen every spectacle, that also for us, the actors,
will be such an epiphany! The sentences, and what they could bring into the audience, are always very strong as
suggestions and will establish a sort of past record. They leave a subtle trace cut into the memory. On this trace we
build the piece.
I write and design the choreography of new spectacles by always leaving some structures open and, in a sense, the
spectacle is always new and has a strong power to renew itself at each date.
Each of my pieces is new also for the leading dancers acting in it, and this renders their condition very similar to the one
of the audience: neutral and open to the wonder. In other dramaturgies only the public seems to be amazed by the new. I
read my books as we do before sleeping in the night, I read to myself, I leave myself soak into the words: Noli Me
Tangere stands also for this.”
Different languages and writing styles of the book read during Noli Me Tangere, chosen among philosophical essays,
poetry, novels and various narratives, are speaking of – and are surrounding – the body, the intimacy, the relation, the
Divinity, Christ, and are a main source to build the rhythm and symbolic level of the whole spectacle.

Mario Esposito (writer, musician with the group Superlowed):
“Noli me tangere. Don’t touch me. And, either the contrary, touch me. Go through me. Noli me tangere is something
affirming its contrary but is not a contradiction. It is able to create a sane and deep coincidentia oppositorum thanks to
the poetical artifice of the dance, to the alembic move of the bodies. Noli me tangere changes the oily black of the soul,
the reddish mistletoe of consuetude, in such a white, sincere and fresh-air-filled dialogue between human beings,
The communication is problem of individuation. The ego corresponds to the other. To solve this problem means to
untie. Undo. All the composite things will be solved. The other is individual. And so, we need to compose a round on
the scene, as to make a ritual. We need that against a Babel of texts put one onto the other a discordant body language
can be fused with, in order to call for a new, harmonic one. We need the body has its proper voice and tells the hidden,
the not-spoken. The man and the woman body. Sonic matter. Two voices are searching for each other, are attracting
themselves, are pushing away also. To end, so, they communicate. They answer each other on everything: they speak in
name of everyone. You cannot stop me leaving. You cannot stop me searching the other. Here we have an enlighten
crucifixion, here we have – here they are! – eight sores of light. Because something of us must be sacrificed if we want
to understand the other. To be comprehended also and to be part of the other. Cupio Dissolvi. I want to die but only to
rebirth again. Noli me tangere. Do not touch me. Or, now and here: touch me. Go through me.
Ruggiero Guarini (Corriere della Sera, ed. Del Mezzogiorno):
“I did really achieved that the ideas of the French thinker Jean Baudrillard, died in Paris last April 6, could have
produced, here in Naples, such astonishing effects also in the dance world (…). An homage to Baudrillard (as Gabriella
Riccio, the Neapolitan choreographer does, though and directed) to his idea of “contemporary body, as a machine as an
object, as a plastic: far away, not touchable, but exhibited”.

si parte da un gap
tempo che separa
spazio incolmabile tra gli esseri umani
distanza / discrepanza spazio-temporale
una distanza delle fasi dell'essere
il tempo-distanza momentaneo
un lasso
vuoto
interruzione
che tende a
che lascia intendere un
continuum
Noli Me Tangere
non toccarmi
non trattenermi
Cristo trasfigurato che pronuncia alla Maddalena
impazienza / urgenza
lacerante anche talvolta
come nell'atto creativo / performativo
non trattenermi da ciò che "devo" compiere adesso
perché è etico che l'arte sia
e forse anche "scandalosa" è l'urgenza di questa etica
dello scoprire
del mostrare
mostrarsi esposti
andare verso
un'azione irrinunciabile
ma anche tabù
del contatto
del lasciarsi penetrare
del lasciare infrangere e corrompere la nostra sfera di individui
la tendenza a non volere mutare di stato
rinunciare all'Io
andare oltre
in quanto la rinuncia alla "corruzione" è sterile
atto non fertile
il monito diventa quindi lacerante
memento a seguire una via della trasfigurazione
di un contatto con l'impalpabile conoscenza di sè
del proprio dovere di compiersi
